☁ I was asked to post these, so to my absolute mortification, here you go. These icons are totally Lish's fault. Just... don't even ask. Seriously. Though I need to mess around more with the first one because I still don't like it.
☁ Been re-reading some old Harry/Draco fic. Hell, I missed these two. <3 It's totally not helping me write![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=3)
blind_go , though. Pffft. I've also been DL-ing a lot of PoT doujin lately. XDDD
☁ Also fandom related: people have been posting to the kink meme, which is hysterical since it's three years old. I generally still get posts on it every once in a while, but the sudden interest is amusing. :P
☁ And speaking of Harry Potter, couple of annoyances about the new release of Deathly Hallows Part 1. The first is that Walmart had an exclusive on the special edition DVD. Really, WB? I know the studios are trying to push the Bluray, but honestly. I don't have a Bluray player. I have no intention of purchasing one- if I'm going to spend the money, I might as well save a bit more and buy a PS3 so I can play games on the damn thing. STOP TRYING TO SHOVE THE FUCKING BLURAY DOWN MY THROAT.
*ahem*
The other thing that pissed me off was actually in the deleted scenes. Now... when I saw DH1 in the theater, I was incredibly disappointed that it didn't have the scene with Harry and Dudley when the Dursley's were leaving. It was a big moment for the both of them. But guess what? It was in the special features. What the ever loving hell. I think it's WORSE, knowing that they filmed it and decided that it WASN'T IMPORTANT, as opposed to not shooting it (there could've been a number of reasons why they didn't end up shooting it, after all). Seriously. What the fuck, WB.
☁ WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH RANDOM PEOPLE INSTANT MESSAGING ME LATELY? It's getting ridiculous.
☁ Dear Mother Nature: We had about 50 thousand feet of snow this winter- I promise you, the ground doesn't need anymore water for a while. Possibly the entire summer. You don't need to rain all freaking week. No love, Ver
☁ Class started today. So as part of my first assignment, I'm supposed to be reading at least one book about writing and/or creativity. I have a bunch on my laptop that I have yet to read (in addition to one or two physical ones whose whereabouts are currently unknown), so I decided to look through. Just on the lappy, I have enough that I could read two books a week for almost the entire length of the course. O_o And only three of the 20 are grammar centered. *headdesk* Although on the other hand, it's as good of an excuse as any to get some of those under my belt?
The other part of the assignment is to get a "writer's journal", which isn't a problem because I have a zillion empty notebooks. Unofficial assignments through the course include writing for 10 minutes a day NO MATTER WHAT and to spend at least an hour a week doing something creative besides writing (I'm thinking scrapbooking/playing in photoshop. :D)
☁ A conversation got me thinking about some stuff when I was a kid- namely my relationships with guys when I was younger, especially the ones I try not to think about. Seriously... no wonder I'm gay. JFC. There was the guy that told me he could rape me anytime he wanted (which gave me an irrational fear of some guy bursting into my house and raping me for YEARS afterward), the guy that sexually harassed me through an entire semester while the entire class including the teacher watched and did NOTHING, the guy that hit on me all the time even after being told in no uncertain terms to go the hell away... and that's not even all of it. (I will say, though, that most were more benign than that. At least in a physical sense. One of these days, I might make an epic list. Maybe. I'm a little afraid to see it all written out at once. Granted, I certainly didn't have it as bad as other people- I was never, ever beaten by a man. Or raped. The fear of it was sure as hell driven into my head and I came dangerously close once, but it never happened. But that doesn't make the cumulative experience feel any less intimidating. XD) I mean, I don't hate men, that much should be obvious by now. I like guys in a friendly way. But I have no interest in them romantically, and I sure as hell don't want to sleep with them. Gee, maybe partially because every kind of possible romantic/sexual encounter I've ever had with a guy has been a complete and utter disaster? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that my terrible experiences with men have made me gay. In hindsight, I was clearly swaying that way even when I was young. But they sure as hell didn't help anything.
